Fire in crowded Indiana house kills four people

Published August 14, 2006

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. - A fire killed four people early Sunday in a two-story house where about a dozen people lived in makeshift rooms, some of them bedding down in closets, the state fire marshal said.

The fire appeared to have started in the back of the house, but investigators did not yet know the cause, Fire Marshal Roger Johnson said.

Johnson said he did not know how many people were there when the fire started but he said the house had "an abnormal number of sleeping areas." There appeared to be some makeshift rooms with spots for about 12 to 15 people to sleep, he said.

Kendra and Maliyah Herrin, who were born fused at the mid torso, had been in critical condition since their separation in a 26-hour surgery that ended Tuesday at Primary Children's Medical Center. They were removed from ventilators Saturday.

The girls remain on heavy pain medication in the pediatric intensive care unit.

Winder said they have opened their eyes, but it's unclear how aware they are.
